HEY CHILD

I heard you got arrested in the street last night

You called me with a voice I didn't recognize

So you're numbin' the pain, stuck in your ways

Since we were kids it was like this

But I will be there, I will be there for you

Hey child, hey child

We were born wild

Let your neon lights

Keep shinin' bright

Hey child, hey child

We were born wild

Let your neon lights

Keep shinin' bright

Ooh, ooh

Back in the '06, sellin' weed to the freshman kids

You were the end of my aim whenever separate

And I don't even hurtin', think you deserve it

How did it end up like this?

Everything will be fine if you just get through tonight

Hey child, hey child

We were born wild

Let your neon lights

Keep shinin' bright

Hey child, hey child

We were born wild

Let your neon lights

Keep shinin' bright

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Brother's got a baby on the way now

I hope that you'll meet him some day

I hope he don't make the same mistakes we made

And when I look at him in the eyes, I say:

Hey child, hey child

You were born wild

Let your neon lights

Keep shinin' bright, ohh

Hey child, hey child

We were born wild

Let your neon lights

Keep shinin' bright

Ooh, ooh

Hey, hey child (Ooh, ooh)

Hey, hey child

You're born wild

Let your neon lights

Keep shinin' bright (Ooh, ooh)
